| description | Modular approach is one of the best design techniques as it promotes better and faster
designing process. Due to functional independence and physical similarities, it tends
to drive platform development. This paper will discuss the application of modularity
approach to drive for platform design from a multi-family home appliances product.
By utilising the conventional heuristics rules to identify modules, a platform is then
developed so that it can be shared among those products. Three consumer products
from different family are used as case study. As a result, a new design is proposed
with several improvements to the products in terms of part count and part
commonality |
